Immigration judicial reviews - Upper Tribunal (IAC) - Totally without merit

The request was successful.

Dear Her Majesty’s Courts and the Tribunals Service,

Could you please supply the following information: the number of immigration judicial review claims considered at the permission stage by the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) that have been certified as Totally Without Merit.

The relevant time period of this request is from the transfer of (most) immigration judicial reviews from the Administrative Court to the Upper Tribunal (IAC) in 2013 until the present.

Such information is published by the MoJ in relation to judicial reviews considered by the Administrative Court, but there is no published information as regards immigration judicial reviews considered by the Upper Tribunal (IAC).

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Robert Thomas
